Humans first appeared in what we now call Montgomery County, Iowa about 11,500 B.C., during the Ice Age. At some time between 800 B.C. and 1000 A.D., semi-permanent villages formed, and agriculture began. European traders traveled through our area as early as 1650 A.D., and by 1847 the young U.S. government had pushed all Native American Tribes out of Southwest Iowa.
A trickle of white settlers began arriving during 1849, and Montgomery County was formally created in 1851. Farms, town governments, churches, schools, newspapers, banks, festivals, and all the other trappings of our modern life quickly developed.

With an original membership of almost 30, the Miamisburg Historical Society began in 1967, becoming the 166th historical organization in Ohio. Since that time, the Miamisburg Historical Society has continued to bridge the gap between the present and the past through public education, social functions and the preservation of local landmarks, the most significant being the Daniel Gebhart Tavern Museum, which served as a gathering place for local residents and as a resting place for those traveling through the area from 1811 until the mid-1800's. Today the fully restored log tavern is home to a wide variety of artifacts and memorabilia relating to the history of the area. Research materials, including genealogy resources, are also available. The Gebhart Tavern museum is located on the corner of Lock Street and Old Main Street in Miamisburg. Hours of operation are Sunday afternoons, May through October, 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. or by appointment upon request.

The Oakwood Historical Society was established in 1974 to serve those who have an interest in the study and sharing of Oakwood's heritage. The mission of the Oakwood Historical Society is to research, preserve, publish, and promote interest in the history of the City of Oakwood, including government, schools, public enterprises, citizens, architecture, and buildings. To promote a link to the past, the Oakwood Historical Society features programs and events throughout the year.
Since 1985 the home of the Oakwood Historical Society is the Long-Romspert Homestead situated on two acres of land at 1947 Far Hills Avenue in the heart of Oakwood. The Long-Romspert house is one of the earliest homes still existing in Oakwood. It is the oldest house to have been built and continuously occupied by one family. The primary house represents two distinctive styles of architecture, mid 19th century Victorian Italianate farmhouse and early 20th century suburban. The Homestead was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1987.

In 1804, Colonel Robert Patterson purchased uninhabited land along the Miami River south of the city of Dayton. Patterson built a homestead along Brown Street in Dayton, and his farm, mill and out buildings occupied Northern Oakwood near Rubicon Road and along Schantz Avenue.
In 1822, there were 10 taxpayers owning land in present day Oakwood. Settler William Kramer owned 60 acres on which he cultivated orchards and vineyards. He also grew expansive flower gardens for visitors to stroll and enjoy. His original property today straddles Kettering and Oakwood and contains the Dayton Country Club.
Large farms appeared on the east side of present-day Oakwood. The terrain was rocky, but relatively flat. The west side of Oakwood was unsuitable for farming, so land owners opened stone and gravel quarries. The Long-Romspert family owned a quarry behind their home (the present-day historical society). The quarry ran the length of what is today Coolidge Drive.

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the Historical Society of Vandalia-Butler. This web site is intended to inform you of the society's goals, accomplishments, and activities. These achievements are the result of an ambitious plan to collect, restore and preserve the unique history of Butler Township and Vandalia.
Our country's historic sites allow us to learn first hand about our national history and our diverse regional and cultural identities. Without the preservation of historic places in our communities, a tangible part of our culture that teaches us who we are as Americans could be lost forever.
http://www.historica...lia-butler.org/
The Historical Society of Vandalia and Butler Township has been actively collecting, preserving and displaying local treasures of our predecessors for over thirty years. The Society's primary purpose has been to make every effort to reach out and make our local history available to everyone, and this continues to be our overwhelming commitment.
Hence, sharing our new web site with you "in the comfort of your home" is just another way we can reach out and keep everyone informed as to the many museum structures, photos, stories, maps, etc., that await you when you, your family and friends visit our beautiful, tranquil and spacious grounds.
The Historical Society of Vandalia-Butler was founded in 1977 as an out-growth of the Vandalia Bicentennial. We had purchased the Log House, but didn't have a home for it until 1980 when Mary C. Hoottinger donated her homestead and 8 1/2 aces to the Historical Society.
The first deed of this property on Alkaline Springs Road was recorded in Volume One of the Montgomery County Deed Book. It was considered public land and was purchased from the government by Benjamin Furnas in 1825, and originally consisted of 154 acres. The deed was signed by John Q. Adams.

The mission of the Centerville-Washington Township Historical Society is to connect the community to its' heritage by collecting, preserving, interpreting, and promoting the history of our local area.
http://www.centervil...gov/cwthistory/
In 1996, Centerville and Washington Township celebrated their Bicentennial.
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 designated the area north of the Ohio River as the Northwest Territory. The men and their families that came to start a new life in the wilderness were courageous and self reliant. Many of the first settlers in our community came as a result of land grants or war bounties given to them for payment for their service in the Revolutionary War.
Part of their legacy to us includes the high standards that they set for their new home. The story of our community, the development and progress of life in Centerville and Washington Township, starts with them.
Our community has always been a strong farming community and even though most of the farms are gone, we still value and respect the land as evidenced in our zoning laws and the importance that we place on parks and green space. The stone that was used to build our many stone buildings was very important in our economic and cultural history, and those stone buildings symbolize our lasting quality as a community. And the many citizens who live here, whose families have been here for many, many generations show that Centerville-Washington Township must be a great place to live.
There are many reasons to learn local history. Fran Puterbaugh Holyoke, one of our first local history authors, was proud of our community and felt that part of that pride came from knowing where the community had been and how it had evolved. Celia Elliott, editor of the historical society's first publication, says that the old phrase "you don't know where you're going if you don't know where you've been" describes why she thinks local history is important. And for Martha Boice, local history author and authority on the landmarks of our community, knowing local history is the process of being at home in the community.
Our community has a very interesting and rich history, and we are proud to tell the stories that are the background to today's active community.

On May 4, 1972, a group of seven women led by Bille Mae Brautigam Hardee, decided there was a need in the Northwestern Harris County and Southwestern Montgomery County area for a genealogical society. They were brought together by a common interest in family history and they all lived in and around the Tomball/Magnolia area. This became home base for the group. The name given to their new organization was the Labor of Love Genealogical Society.
Within a few months, the Society was up and running. The first formal Society meeting was held on September 18, 1972 at the Tomball Branch of the Harris County Library. The forty-seven individuals who joined prior to December 1, 1972 were given charter member status.
In September of 1974, the Society was renamed Chaparral Genealogical Society. During this time the Society began publishing its quarterly, "The Roadrunner." The Roadrunner contained genealogical records and was published from 1974 to 1991; back copies are available for review at the library. Chaparral has published many books of records for the Tomball and Montgomery County area including: The Klein Funeral Home Records to 1900, and Census and Marriage records of Northwest Harris and Southwest Montgomery Counties.
